BB

there are two of those on this team. and given your penchant for sarcasm, it was pretty difficult to tell who you were talking about

I like this line-up

I’d like it a little better if Salty was starting, though… not because I think Laird is worthless (I don’t, for the record) but with all the other youngsters in the lineup, it would just feel right.

Salty should be starting...

seeing as Laird is right-handed facing a righty tonight, and Salty switch-hits.

I’m assuming Millwood wanted Laird.

Doubt it...

I think it’s just Wash spliting time between the 2 right now.

Millwood and Laird seem to have a decent chemistry.

Rangers haven't faced a

lefty starter since Salty joined the team and aren’t scheduled to until this Sunday in Oakland.

He has allowed 7 runs and 13 hits in his last 11.2 innings

And the Royals have only been getting him about 3 runs of support a game. I think we’ve got a chance.

MY's hit streak

only 42 more games to go…

Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

by WhipSmart on Apr 30, 2008 7:16 PM CDT 0 recs

there was a study a few months ago

that ran every single MLB game for the last 100+ years 10,000 times and found that it was more or less amazing that no one has come close to Joltin’ Joe…

Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

by WhipSmart on Apr 30, 2008 7:19 PM CDT up 0 recs

yep

but it said that almost all of those longer hit streaks would have been between 1890’s thru 1930’s.

by Randy Richardson on Apr 30, 2008 7:20 PM CDT up 0 recs

realistically, though

I’m with you… I think that’s a record that will remain for a very long time..

Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

by WhipSmart on Apr 30, 2008 7:22 PM CDT up 0 recs

To my understanding, that study just took the stats for each player and determined the percentage of the time that a given player would get a hit in any particular game. I don’t believe that there was any consideration of multi-hit games, and I know there was no factoring of game score, situation, etc. Basically, those 80+ game hitting streaks that were simulated would have resulted in some astronomical batting averages. To my recollection, anyway.

Ya when I was a senior at HP

They were just trying to install the TAKS, so they did a test run with us.

Unfortunatly they told us that this test would in no way count towards anything on your academic record, that it was going to be thrown out after the testing period.

Every answer was B, and I think I set the record for completion at about 5 and a half mins.
